Instructions
- Line a large tray with baking paper.
- Mix the butter, sugar and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Stir in the flour until it starts to stick together. Then use your hands to press everything together into a ball of dough. If it's too wet, add more flour. If it's too dry, add a small splash of milk.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal-sized pieces. Add purple food colouring to the first piece, black to the second, and orange to the third (use gloves to prevent staining your hands). If the dough becomes sticky after adding the colours, add more flour as needed.
- Place a large piece of baking paper onto your work surface and place small balls of each colour on it, alternating until all of the dough is used up. Try to keep it in the shape of a rectangle.
- Roll the balls together to make a marbled sheet of dough that is 1cm thick. Use Halloween-shaped cookie cutters to cut out your biscuits. Re-roll scrap pieces together until all of the dough is used up.
- Place the biscuit shapes onto your lined tray then pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will help them to hold their shape in the oven.
- Preheat your oven to 180℃/350℉ (160℃/320℉ for fan and convection ovens).
- After the 30 minutes have passed, bake your biscuits- around 15 minutes for small ones and 18-20 minutes for larger ones. You'll know they're done when they're firm around the edges with a slightly soft centre. They'll become more crunchy as they cool so be careful not to overbake.
- Sprinkle some extra sugar on top of the biscuits while they're still warm. Let them cool on the tray then enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
